Imagine ruining your season in such a meaningless race in Australia

Australia? Isn't it Landa's crash you're talking about?

I think this might be directed at Jancouver and his TDU hate.

I kinda assumed it was a jibe at Jancouver's constant complaining about how meaningless it is to get injured in Australia, but not other places.

Sorry for the shameless Dane-plug, but, damn! Byriel Iversen! Now there's a pro-debut of the interesting:

1: Gets in break-of-the-day - check.
2: Earn enough points for the KOM - check.
3: Voted most aggresive - check.
4: Crash and break your collarbone - errr… check...

And there's been a bit of a route-change in today's race in Challenge Mallorca, because… well...

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Solo win for Emanuel Buchmann at the Trofeo Andratx today.

 

[RedheadDane]

Mollema likes being third in these races.

One favourite for the most Top 10s without a win gone early. Nice win!

 

[Max Rockatansky]

It looks like Wellens ate all of Buchmann's plates this winter. Buchmann hired Sven Hannawald as nutrition coach, it seems.

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Nice by Buchmann.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Those races should have live coverage. Sounds like today has been pretty epic so far.

 

[Salvarani]

Group of 20 riders with 40km to go

 

[Salvarani]

Buchmann going for it today again it seems like

 

[Salvarani]

Buchmann leads with 26 seconds infront of Wellens, Hermans and Higuita. 20km to go

 

[Velolover2]

It seems to be Buchmann vs. Wellens.

 

[Salvarani]

Re:

Higuita chasing with Wellens right now I think also

Hermans dropped from them

 

[Salvarani]

From their twitter feed "Wellens and Higuita approach to Buchmann at 15 seconds and the rest already at 50 seconds!"

20-15km I think or so left

Yeah, only 15 secs gap now.

 

[Salvarani]

A group with Valverde now chasing at 40 seconds behind

 

[Salvarani]

Wellens likely to win now

 

[Velolover2]

Re:

Wellens likely to win now

A hat-trick. This is almost his race.

 

[Salvarani]

Re: Re:

Yup, 3 years in a row!

Buchmann 2nd place, Valverde 3rd

 

[DNP-Old]

Re:

Higuita 6th! 21 years old and really made some nice progression in the latter part of last season.

4th today. Watch out from him this year.

 

[RedheadDane]

These Mallorcan races seriously have the best names ever!

Lotto Soudal having an eventful start to 2019! Congrats to Wellens.

Not that eventful compared to *cough* another Belgian WT team.
They thought they had a win, that win got removed, now they actually have a win.
And one of their riders just rode the Namibian TT championship, for some reason… (He's not on the results, probably because he's Belgian.)

Campenaerts is in Namibia training for the hour record.
